Types of Compounded Therapies

Hormone Therapy for Women and Men

Compounded Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) uses active ingredients that are identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. Over time and with the introduction of certain illnesses, your body’s ability to produce adequate levels of these hormones declines. Compounded Hormone Replacement Therapy has improved the quality of life for millions of women and men around the world.

We specialize in the art of compounding customized Hormone Replacement Therapy options for women and men. Hormone Replacement Therapy uses combinations of estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone depending on your symptoms, lab results and physician’s specifications. These combinations are then compounded into dosage forms that you and your physician find appropriate. For example, hormone combinations can be compounded into creams/gels, capsules, troches, suppositories, sublingual drops, injections, etc.

In addition to compounding the medications, Sharzad Green, Pharm. D., our hormone replacement specialist and pharmacist, offers private Hormone Replacement Consultations to find a tailored solution that fits your needs. Sharzad has had the privilege of working with over 6,000 patients and providers in the Valley and around the world.

Thyroid Dysfunction

The thyroid gland is a butterfly shape gland located in your neck that is responsible for releasing the thyroid hormone. The two major forms of the thyroid hormone are- Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4). The thyroid gland initially releases Thyroxine (T4), then the body converts the hormone to Triiodothyronine (T3). The thyroid hormone is responsible for regulating body temperature and controlling metabolism, and is imperative to balancing hormones in women and men. Thyroid problems are primarily defined by two major thyroid dysfunctions: hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Hypothyroidism is more common, and is defined by the thyroid not releasing adequate amounts of the thyroid hormone.

We offer all of the above compounded and commercial hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism medication treatment options. We also accept most major insurance plans and can ship your medications directly to your home.

If you have questions about thyroid dysfunction treatment, call Community Clinical Pharmacy at 480.969.0600 or submit your question to the Pharmacist to discuss your options.

Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal glands (Suprarenal glands) sit on top of your kidneys and secrete essential hormones to life. They are responsible for releasing hormones that control your body: fight or flight responses, sex steroids(needed for reproduction), and cortisol (stress) and water retention. Over time and with the introduction of stress the adrenals experience fatigue, and can cause you to feel fatigued and experience a number of other symptoms.

Pain Management

Pain management can be difficult to achieve with traditional oral medications, and many physicians are turning to compounded pain medications to enhance their patients’ pain treatment plans. Compounded topical pain therapy can be a safe and effective alternative or addition to traditional oral pain medications. Our compounded pain creams and gels deliver powerful and effective medications directly to the area causing pain while avoiding most of the side effects of oral medications.

Our pharmacists have many compounded formulations for all types of pain [neuropathic pain, migraine, NSAID therapy, topical anesthetics, topical opioids]. We can work directly with you and your physician to make a recommendation that can alleviate your symptoms. If you have questions or would like a recommendation, please call the pharmacist at Community Clinical Pharmacy to discuss your options.

Let us make a recommendation based on your symptoms and treatment plan. Call Community Clinical Pharmacy at 480.969.0600 or submit your question to the Pharmacist to discuss your options.

Erectile Dysfunction

Millions of men are affected by erectile dysfunction, which is defined by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction can interfere with your self-confidence and relationships, but there are safe and effective treatment options available. Community Clinical Pharmacy has innovative and affordable treatment options to meet your needs.

One treatment option is compounded Tri-Mix (Prostaglandin, Papaverine, Phentolamine) injections. This medication is a powerful combination of three vasodilators (Prostaglandin, Papaverine, Phentolamine) that are injected directly into the corpus cavernosum (side of the penis-between the base and the middle of the penis). Tri-Mix is an affordable erectile dysfunction treatment option for men no longer responding to traditional therapies.

The pharmacists at Community Clinical Pharmacy developed a method to freeze dry Tri- Mix ingredients (Prostaglandin, Papaverine, Phentolamine) without compromising the active ingredients or strength. This form of Tri-Mix can be stored at room temperature (and mailed anywhere in Arizona) until the patient is ready to use it. We are the only pharmacy in the area that is compounding Lyophilized Tri-Mix at this time.
